“I was uncertain as to what to expect with the training. One thing, I knew for a certainty was that I was doing something wrong with my job applications/search. I was yet to receive any call back considering the number of applications, I sent out. The first two days were challenging as the processes were somewhat new to me.
I would like to commend the trainer, she was very patient, listened to my concerns, and pointed me in the right direction.
The training exceeded my expectations and I am confident that I will get a job not necessarily within the Civil Service.”
“Had a very positive experience and have learnt several techniques and methods Tutor has been great.
But I believe Strive can improve by not requiring the student to have MS Word or Adobe software to complete forms. As having to complete forms or docs and then add or upload them proved problematic for many students. Having a safe online form the same for all students would be better”
“very easy to complete the course, the instructor Wendy was very attentive, with a lot of patience in explaining the tasks, and very attentive to the shortcomings of each one, it a course that made me develop my communication skills, and that I recommend, I leave much more confident and full of tools that I will be able to use in my future”
“The tutor's approach and delivery of the course were excellent from the first day to the end. I did not only immensely benefit from the course content (facilitated by the tutor's wealth of knowledge and experience), but their warm and emotionally intelligent approach made the training experience rewarding and enjoyable. Thank You.”
“Extremly informative training course. Learned so much about the job applying process and feel a lot more confident going forward. The CV and cover letter writing, the STAR technique and the inteview question answering were the highlights for me. Trina the course trainer was extremely good, friendly and always available when needed.”
“The training was amazing and exceeded my expectation. We had an experienced and patient tutor, and the course was clearly laid out and ensured understanding all through. I am happy I attended and I will be applying the knowledge gained onward.”
“The course was very informative, educational and exciting. Special thanks to our wonderful tutor WENDY HILL who was with us all this time and helped us a lot.”
“I gain a lot of confidence in applying for a job and the mock interview was very helpful.
Carlene the tutor is amazing with her skills and how she explains the course materials. I like how she promotes how to apply for DWP jobs. I might look into changing my career from a Youth and Community Engagement Outreach Worker.
I thought the course was excellent”
“Thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course and learnt a lot during the week. Would definitely recommend this service to others seeking guidance in employability etc.”
“I had not used Zoom before but the team helped guide me through getting it set up. The course was clear and informative. Our tutor Wendy guided the team successfully through the course and was a lovely person to be taught by. The atmosphere was wonderful and I enjoyed the course very much. I will look at doing more courses in the future. Thank you for this experience.”
“This course has been a really positive experience for me, I now have a clearer understanding of how to fill out applications and I feel more prepared for any job interviews I may attend. My tutor Ann has been fantastic, she has been really helpful with any questions during the course, and very encouraging. I feel my confidence has definitely increased whilst doing this course.”
“Strive training has professional Tutors that gave adequate support that I needed to improve my confidence and that assist to be bold when going for any job interview”
“Very informative! Trina was brilliant and I have left the course achieving my goal. I would highly recommend this to anyone. This is not only great for civil service jobs but for jobs in general.”
